Development Package Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Neuse River Basin 1.0 Project Introduction The Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel") is proposed under the terms and conditions of the Catfish Pond II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Banking Instrument ("MBI"), made and entered into by Wildlands Holdings V, LLC acting as Bank Sponsor ("Sponsor") and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality ("NCDE(X") Division of Water Resources ("NCDWR"). The Parcel shall be planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0240 and the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 which became effective November 1, 2015. The project is in Durham County approximately 12 miles north of the City of Durham, immediately adjacent to the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services ("NCDMS") Catfish Pond Mitigation Site, NCDWR Project Number 2018-0196v1 ("NCDMS Site") (Figure 1). The Parcel expands the protected riparian area from 50 feet in the NCDMS Site to 100-200 feet on along Catfish Creek, two unnamed tributaries and one ditch. The primary purpose of the project is to provide riparian buffer mitigation credits and nutrient offset credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin 03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code ("HUC") within the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2). 1.1 Parcel Location and Description The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201020040 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-01 in Durham County. To reach the Parcel from the City of Durham, travel north approximately 12 miles on Highway 501/North Roxboro Street. The Parcel is on the left, 1/2 mile north of the roads intersection with Patrick Road, just south of its intersection with Mountain Creek. Catfish Creek and the other project features flow into Mountain Creek, which subsequently flows into Little River, the Eno River, and then into Falls Lake. Falls Lake is classified as water supply water (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW) by NCDWR. The proposed project supports specific goals identified in the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and sediment reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams and riparian buffers". This riparian mitigation project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide and improve terrestrial and instream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area surrounding the streams proposed for mitigation is currently a mixture of active pasture, open fields, and some woodlands (See the appendix for February 2020 site photos). By removing cattle access and restoring the vegetation on areas up to 200 feet from the streams and ditch; the project will reduce nutrient and sediment inputs in the tributaries to Mountain Creek, and subsequently Little River and Falls Lake. The restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events. The establishment of riparian vegetation around Ditch D will also create shading to minimize thermal heating. Finally, the new native vegetation will provide cover and food for wildlife throughout the Parcel. wCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 1 April 2020 2.0 Mitigation Project Summary 2.1 Project Goals The major goals of the proposed buffer and nutrient offset mitigation project are to provide ecological and water quality enhancements to the Falls Lake Watershed in the Neuse River Basin by restoring the riparian area to create a functional riparian corridor. Specific enhancements to water quality and ecological processes are outlined below in Table 1. Table 1: Ecological and Water Quality Goals Goal Objective Exclude cattle from project features and Install fencing around conservation easement boundary, expanding the fenced riparian area within 200 area beyond what was proposed in the NCDMS Catfish Pond Mitigation Site. feet of project features. Nutrient input will be decreased by filtering runoff from the agricultural fields Decrease nutrient levels. through restored native vegetation. The off -site nutrient input will also be absorbed on -site by filtering flood flows through restored floodplain areas, where flood flows can disperse through native vegetation. Decrease sediment input. Sediment from off -site sources will be captured by deposition on restored floodplain areas where native vegetation will slow overland flow velocities. Decrease water temperature and increase Planted riparian trees will shade the project features as they mature, reducing dissolved oxygen thermal pollution. concentrations. Create appropriate Riparian areas will be restored by treating invasive vegetation and planting terrestrial habitat. native vegetation. Permanently protect the project Parcel from A conservation easement will be recorded on the Parcel. harmful uses. 2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions The proposed buffer and nutrient offset mitigation project includes approximately 33 acres of open cattle pasture along Catfish Creek, two unnamed tributaries (UT1 and Mountain Tributary for the purposes of this project), and a ditch (Ditch D). Previously cattle had access to all streams but with the recent conclusion of construction on the NCDMS Site, the first 50 feet from the project streams were restored or enhanced via cattle exclusion, as a forested riparian area. The Parcel expands beyond that boundary increasing easement widths from 0-50 feet to 100-200 feet and incorporating a new 200-foot area surrounding Ditch D (Figure 3). Portions of the Parcel's three jurisdictional streams (Catfish Creek, Mountain Tributary, and UT1), one Ditch (D), and one ephemeral channel (EC1) were all part of the NCDMS Site. Catfish Creek flows east, WCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 2 April 2020 beginning as an intermittent stream and becoming perennial. UT1 is a perennial stream that flows northeast, joining Catfish Creek. Both EC1 and Ditch D flow east into UT1. Mountain Tributary begins in the northwest corner of the project area and flows southeast before turning and flowing northeast into Mountain Creek. The NCDMS Site also included an additional stream (UT2) that is not included in the Parcel. In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 78 years with only minor changes in land cover (see historical aerials in the appendix). This consistency in land use within the project watershed indicates that watershed processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and nutrient and pollutant delivery have not varied widely over this time period. With a lack of developmental pressure, watershed processes and stressors from outside the project limits are likely to remain consistent throughout the implementation, monitoring, and closeout of this project.

Five of the six features assessed were deemed viable by NCDWR to generate buffer mitigation. The sixth, Ditch D, required more information before a determination of viability could be made. The additional information to support buffer credit viability on Ditch D is included in Section 2.4. NCDWR issued an extension of the "On -Site Stream Origin Determination for Applicability to Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules" on February 19, 2020. There have been no changes to the land use in the Parcel since the NCDWR 2018 site visit. The NCDMS stream and buffer mitigation project is currently under construction. A copy of the "Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset" letter and extension letter from the DWR are included in the appendix and summarized in Table 3.

The proposed project is in compliance in the following ways: Preservation on Subject Streams (15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5): • The buffer width is at least 30 feet from the stream (See Figure 8 for buffer zones). The minimum width of riparian areas on this site is 50 feet from top of banks. The area meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 02R 0.0403(c)(7), (8), and (11) with no known structures, infrastructure, hazardous substances, solid waste, or encumbrances within the mitigation boundary (See Section 2.10 for EDR Radius Report summary). Mitigation credits for preservation are being requested on no more than 25% of the total area of buffer mitigation (See Table 8 for credit calculations). Restoration on Ditches (15A NCAC 026 .0295 (o)(8): • The ditch is directly connected with and draining towards an intermittent or perennial stream (See Figure 3 for connection with UT1). • The ditch is contiguous with the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual conservation easement (See Figure 3 and 7 for easement boundary). • Stormwater runoff from overland flow drains towards the ditch (See Figure 5 for topographic and watershed information). • The ditch is between one and 3 feet in depth (See Figure 3 for depth at cross-section locations). • The entire length of the ditch shall have been in place prior to the effective date of the applicable rule (See appendix for historical aerial photographs). • The width of buffer restoration on the ditch is no less than 30 feet and no more than 50 feet (See Figure 8 for buffer zones). • The watershed of the ditch is at least four times larger than the restored area along the ditch (See Figure 5 for the watershed and Table 4 for the drainage areas). Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 4 April 2020 The following sections describe the existing riparian conditions on the Parcel in terms of watershed, soils, geology, cultural resources, species of concern, regulated floodplain zones, and site constraints. 2.5 Watershed Characterization The Parcel is located within the HUC 03020201020040. All onsite features drain to Mountain Creek, which flows to Littler River, the Eno River, and then into Falls Lake. Falls Lake is classified as water supply waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW). The NSW designation applies to surface waters that are experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation. The topography of the Parcel, as indicated on the Rougemont USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle, shows mostly steeply sloped areas with some moderately sloped areas along UT1 (Figure 4). Drainage areas for the project reaches (Figure 5) were delineated using 2-foot contour intervals derived from the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program's 2017 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses draining to the project reaches are a mix of active pastures, fields, and woodlands. The watershed areas and current land use are summarized in Table 4, below. Table 4: Drainage Areas and Associated Land Use Reach Name Mitigation Area Watershed Area Land Use (acres) (acres) Catfish Creek 12.1 197 46% forested; 54% managed herbaceous cover/pasture; 0.2% woody wetland UTl 10.3 108 32% forested; 66% managed herbaceous cover/pasture; 1%shrub Mountain Tributary 1.5 30 92% forested, 8% managed herbaceous cover/pasture Ditch D 7.2* 23 17%forested, 83% managed herbaceous cover/pasture *Of the 7.2 acres of mitigation on Ditch D, 1.9 acres is buffer restoration. The Ditch D watershed is over 12 times the area of buffer restoration on the ditch, meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(8) . 2.6 Geology and Soils The project is located in the Ecoregion 45c - Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont physiographic province. The Carolina Slate Belt extends from southern Virginia, across the Carolinas, and into Georgia. The Carolina Slate Belt consists of metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary rock including gneiss and schist that has been intruded by younger granitic rocks (NCGS, 2013). The underlying geology of the proposed Parcel is mapped as late Proterozoic to Cambrian (1 billion to 500 million years in age) intermediate metavolcanics rock (CZiv) and felsic meta -volcanic rock (CZfv) (NCGS, 1985). The intermediate meta - volcanic rock is described as metamorphosed andesitic tuffs and flows that are medium to dark grayish green in color with minor felsic and mafic meta-volcanics. The felsic meta -volcanic rock is described as metamorphosed daeitic to rhyolitic flows and tuffs that is light gray to greenish gray in color that interbedded with intermediate meta -volcanic rock. The proposed Parcel is mapped by the Durham County Soil Survey. Project area soils are mapped primarily as wehadkee silt loam, tatum gravelly silt loam, georgeville silt loam, and chewacla and wehadkee soils. These soils are described below in Table 5. Catfish Creek, UT1, Mountain Tributary, and Ditch D are all depicted as streams on the 1976 NRCS Soil Survey provided in Figure 6. KCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 5 April 2020 Table 5: Project Soil Types and Descriptions Soil Name Description This soil is found on narrow floodplains with a slope of 0 to 2 percent and is Wehadkee silt loam typically poorly drained and frequently floods. The surface layer of the series is loam with a thickness of about 8 inches. The subsoil of sandy clay loam has a depth of 43 inches. This soil is fairly well suited for pasture. This well -drained soil is found on uplands with a slope of 15 to 25 percent. The surface layer has a gravelly silt loam of about 7 inches. The subsoil of silty Tatum gravelly silt loam clay loam extends to a depth of 42 inches and weathered bedrock is present from 42 to 80 inches. This soil is well suited to pine and hardwood forest and to pasture. Slope and the erosion resulting from runoff are the major concerns in management. This well -drained soil is found on narrow side slopes on uplands with a slope of 6 to 10 percent. It has a surface layer of reddish -brown or brown silt loam Georgeville silt loam to about 7 inches. Its subsoil is red, firm silty clay or silty clay loam to about 10 inches. Slope and erosion resulting from runoff are the major concerns for management. These soils are about 60 percent Chewacla soil and 35 percent Wehadkee soil. These are somewhat poorly drained soils on floodplains with slopes of 0 to 2 Chewacla and Wehadkee soils percent that flood frequently. They occur as long, level areas parallel to the major streams and rivers. These soils have a surface layer of loam to about 4 inches and a subsurface layer of silty clay loam to about 26 inches. These soils are well suited to hardwood forest and pasture. Source: Durham County Soil Survey, USDA-NRCS, http://efotg.nres.usda.gov 2.7 Existing Vegetative Communities Upland portions of the Parcel maintained for cattle grazing are dominated by pasture grasses including tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus), bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), and red fescue (Festuca rubra). Herbaceous vegetation in wetland and riparian areas includes tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum), common rush (Juncus effuses), spotted ladysthumb (Polygonum persicaria), yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), Carex species (Carex spp.), and Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum). Forested riparian areas are generally narrow or discontinuous, but common tree species present in the canopy are American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and red maple (Acer rubrum). Additional woody plants present in smaller proportions or lower strata include eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), white oak (Quercus alba), hazel alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix nigra), paw paw (Asimina triloba), greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). 2.8 Threatened and Endangered Species The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation database (IPaC) were searched for federally listed threatened and endangered plant and animal species in Durham County, NC. Two listed endangered species and three species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened were identified: the River waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Carolina madtom (Notorus furiousus), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), and the smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata). Wildlands performed a pedestrian survey of the project parcel on April 13, 2018 and again on February 14, 2020. It was determined that there is no suitable habitat for any of the listed species; therefore, the project will have WCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 6 April 2020 "no effect" on the federally listed species. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter packet and the USFWS response letter agreeing with the determinations are included in the appendix. 2.9 Cultural Resources There are no existing structures in the project area. The Parcel is not located near any sites listed on the National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO was contacted with request for review and comment on March 2, 2020. SHPO responded on April 17, 2020 and stated they were not aware of any historic resources that would be affected by the project. All correspondence with SHPO is included in the Appendix. 2.10 FEMA Floodplain Compliance No grading activities are proposed in the floodplain, so a floodplain development permit will not be required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project. 2.11 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access The Parcel is accessible via a gravel driveway off Roxboro Road. Three internal easement crossings for farm use are part of the proposed conservation easement. These breaks are not included in the credits calculated for the project. There are no other known constraints on the proposed Parcel. 2.12 Other Environmental Conditions An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through Environmental Data Resources, Inc. on January 29, 2018. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no known or potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix. 3.0 Site Protection Instrument The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes portions of the parcels listed in Table 6. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement. Table 6: Site Protection Instrument Site Deed Book Acreage Landowner PIN County Protection and Page to be Instrument Number Protected 0827-02-68- Jack B. Penny Jr, Richard P. Penny, & Gary W. Penny 0515 Durham Conservation Easement To Be Recorded 33 0827-02-67- 0407 4.0 Mitigation Work Plan The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along Catfish Creek, Mountain Tributary and Ditch D on the Parcel to a protected riparian corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. The project design will ensure that no adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 7 illustrates the conceptual design for the Parcel. Figure 8 further depicts the riparian buffer zones for the Parcel. KCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 7 April 2020 4.1 Parcel Preparation The land use within 200 feet from top of bank of the project features has been maintained as cleared for cattle pasture except for a few small forested areas along Catfish Creek and Mountain Tributary. Those areas will be preserved. Areas slated for restoration will require little site preparation because the land has been maintained in agriculture. Site preparation will include select herbicide treatments and/or limited mechanical clearing to remove undesirable vegetation. Where needed, invasive species will be selectively removed and/or spot treated by a licensed pesticide applicator. The Parcel is being fenced during construction of the NCDMS Site to remove cattle from the easement areas as shown on Figure 8, but the Parcel will continue to be used for agriculture until the Parcel conservation easement has been recorded. 4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor. Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the Parcel will include a mixture of the species listed in Table 7 below. Table 7: Selected Tree Species Species Common Name Density Platanus occidentalis Sycamore 20% Betula nigra River Birch 20% Populus deltoides Eastern Cottonwood 10% Acer negundo Boxelder 10% Diospyros virginiana Persimmon 10% Quercus michauxii Swamp Chestnut Oak 10% Quercus phellos Willow Oak 10% Quercus alba White Oak 10% Trees will be planted at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 planted trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species will be greater than 50% of the established stems. An appropriate seed mix will also be applied to provide temporary and permanent ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. Planting is scheduled for January 2021. 4.3 Riparian Area Enhancement Activities No riparian enhancement activities are planned for the Parcel. 0 Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 8 April 2020 4.4 Riparian Area Preservation Activities There will be no parcel preparation work done in the buffer preservation areas, as allowed under 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o). There are sections along Catfish Creek and Mountain Tributary of mature hardwood forest that will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement (Figure 7). No additional treatment or planting is planned for these areas of the project. 5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan 5.1 Monitoring Protocol Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the buffer restoration areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The plots will be randomly placed throughout the planted riparian areas. A total of 23 plots will be established within the riparian buffer restoration and credit generation areas (Figure 9). The size of individual quadrants will be 100 square meters. Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2 Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner of each of the 25 plots. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded. Planting is scheduled for January 2021. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed and no earlier than the fall season. Species composition, height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by plot. The total number of volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The measure of vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species, where no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established density of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and desirable native volunteer species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards with NCDWR approval. The Sponsor shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31" of each year for five consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the Catfish Pond II Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI). 5.2 Parcel Maintenance If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section 5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented. Site maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, fire, flooding, drought, or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any parcel maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation. The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations. The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must wCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 9 April 2020 receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred. 5.3 Easement Boundaries and Fencing Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers that have been disturbed, damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for the conservation easement holder will be included on easement markers. 6.0 Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management 6.1 Financial Assurances Following approval of the Catfish Pond II Bank Parcel Development Package, the Sponsor shall provide a Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as described in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP, but not less than $150,000.00). In lieu of posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary. After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring. Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable. 6.2 Long-term Management The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation easement. The long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld in perpetuity. 7.0 Mitigation Potential Of the 33.00 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 28.30 acres is riparian restoration. Of that 28.30 acres of restoration, 8.30 acres is proposed for buffer mitigation credit and 20 acres is proposed for nutrient offset credit. There is also 2.76 acres of preservation within the conservation easement proposed for riparian buffer credit. The mitigation credit calculations were derived based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift. The management objectives, mitigation type, and proposed amount of buffer mitigation are presented in Tables 8 and 9, below. All of the buffer restoration areas are viable for either riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset credits and can be converted upon approval by NCDWR if within the first 100 feet from top of bank for the areas on Catfish Creek, Mountain Tributary, UT1 or the first 50 feet from top of bank for the Ditch. wCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP HUC 03020201 Page 10 April 2020 Table 8: Catfish Pond 11 Project Mitigation Credits Neuse 03020201 - Upper Falls Lake Service Area 19.16394 N Credit Ratio (sf/credit) 297.54099 P Credit Ratio (sf/credit) Tota I Subject?

The Site is located in the Falls Lake WS of the Neuse River Basin within the 8- digt Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -delivery stream restoration project for the Division of Mitigation Services (Rl~ P 916-007279). Members of the Interagency Review Team (IRT) and Division of Mitigation Services were also present onsite. At your request, on February 23, 2018, Ms. Merritt performed an onsite assessment of riparian land uses adjacent to streams and ditches onsite, which are shown on the attached map labeled "Figure 6A Concept Map". Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination I'or the riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was spade from Top of Bank (TOB) out to 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (etiective November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B ,0240- Feature Classification 'Subject Riparian Land uses Buffet Nutrient Mitilzation Type Determination w(in riparian ad atent to Feature areas to Buffer Credit Offset Viable Rule 0-200' at 2,273 Viable lbs acre uTl Stream & Yes Combination of yes' Yes (non- Fields - Restoration Site per 15A NCAC 02B Wetland (where forested and forested fields M95 (n) complex stream is non/forested pasture only) Proposed for restored) grazed by cattle Forested Areas - Enhancement Site per 15A stream NCAC 02B .0295 (a) (6) restoration Crossing I has impeded flow and Crossing 2 is severely perched with impeded flow.

Site cannot be a Preservation only site to comply with this rule. °The area described as an Enhancement Site was assessed and determined to comply with all of 15A NCAC 02B .0295(o)(6). Catfish Pond Full -Delivery Site Wildlands March 13, 2018 The attached map (Figure 6A Concept Map) showing the project site and features was provided by Wildlands Engineering and was initialed by Ms. Merritt on March 13, 201 S. There were at least 3 crossings that need to he repaired or replaced to allow for aquatic passage and continuous hydrologic connectively throughout the streams. This letter should be provided in any future stream, wetland, buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation plans for this Site. This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters. All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240. For any areas generating wetland mitigation credit, no buffer or nutrient offset credit can be generated.

Catfish Pond 11 Mitigation Bank Parcel Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern: The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECDS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized, funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or 02/21/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01578 evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the web site often for updated information or changes If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles. Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html. Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7 consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

The project is comprised of approximately 31.5 acres along Catfish Creek and three additional unnamed tributaries. The Parcel has historically been disturbed due to livestock use. This project will establish adequate buffers along these streams to improve water quality and wildlife habitat, both aquatic and terrestrial. The project easement is immediately adjacent to Catfish Pond Mitigation Site (Phase I of the project), which is currently under construction. The Parcel expands the riparian buffer area from 50 feet in Phase I to 100-200 feet on project streams and ephemeral channels.
